Factional National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prof. Wale Oladipo, has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari and the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, to save judiciary from what he described as “imminent danger of being infiltrated and controlled by politicians”.
He spoke against the backdrop of the many conflicting orders and judgments emanating from different divisions of the Federal High Court and the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory as they relate to the leadership crisis rocking the PDP.
Oladipo said in a statement in Abuja on Sunday, that it was worrisome that after parties had been served court processes and had been joined, they still rushed to another court where they got some judges to grant them exparte orders and conflicting orders and judgments within days.
He said, “This ugly trend began with the Justice Mohammed Liman of the Port Harcourt Division of the Federal High Court.
He granted an exparte order in respect of the same issues and parties on the 23rd of May, 2016, 12 days after the Federal High Court, Lagos, had become seized of the matter and made orders which forbids the PDP from ‘conducting any election into the offices of the National Chairman, National Secretary and National Auditor occupied by the 1st ( Ali Modu Sheriff), 2nd (Prof. Wale Oladipo) and 3rd Plaintiffs (Alhaji Fatai Adeyanju) respectively pending the determination of the substantive suit.’” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
